I agree with cactuspete. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD. Intentionally buying stuff to return it is unethical in my humble opinion.</font>
Honestly I have never returned anything purchased with a credit card and been given cash. I agree that buying something just to return it and screw the merchant out of the miles is unethical. Another reason to be weary of running up "phony" tabs on credit cards just for miles is that often suspicious activity on credit cards is monitored and can affect credit ratings or arouse suspicions of much more illicit activity then just trying to fatten a frequent flyer account.
